On an FC4 client, I'm mounting an smbfs filesystem over the network. In /etc/fstab, I have
//server/share /mount/point smbfs credentials=/home/user/.smbcreds,noauto,user 0 0
The user's .bash_profile contains the actual mount command, which goes off without a hitch. Consequently, the user can issue
$ umount /mount/point
when necessary.
It's all well and good, until the user connects to the FC4 client twice, and runs two xterms which both source .bash_profile.
Now the mount command has been issued twice, so here's what happens:
Should script such that the share isn't mounted unless it isn't already mounted.
$ umount /mount/point umount: it seems /mount/point is mounted multiple times
Well, yes, it has been mounted multiple times; but how can the user unmount it now?
One should be able to use ps to find the PID of the mounts and kill them directly i believe.
ps ax | grep mount
then kill -9 the corresponding PID's
Hope this helps.
